Works statement

[DonaNobisPacem]

Would the following statement be consistant with Catholic teaching?:

“Salvation is a free gift of God. Works are a result of salvation, not a means to salvation.”

 

[moira]

I would say yes.
Salvation is a gift of God, and it also is dependent upon how men accept and make use of that free gift.
You can’t reduce salvation to a mere formula of ‘believe, repent, ask Jesus to be your personal Lord and Savior.’

Romans 2:6-7 …God, who will repay everyone according to his works:eternal life to those who seek glory, honor and immortality through perseverence in good works."
